Just watched it.

I thought it was quite good - better than any presidential debate. Both did a good job presenting their sides and even found some common grounds.

Ted was his usual strong, polished. well prepared self, but Bernie was no slouch.

Good format allowing lots of give and take without the moderators getting in their way.

CNN actually did a good job - didn’t play favorites. I think Trump hitting them over the head is having some desired results.

I thought Ted was excellent. The fact that Obamacare is a complete disaster helps his argument. As a debater Bernie is skilled at coming off as a brilliant slightly disheveled nutty professor with some seemingly good points. But his ideas were complete socialist trash. The woman who owned a company and now could not afford healthcare coverage for her own family was great. And Bernie’s response basically boiled down to you have to take one for the team. I also loved Ted holding up the chart of states with the greatest increase in premiums. He pointed out that it looked exactly like the map of the red and blue states from the Trump election and said there might be a message there. I loved it.
